Hysteretic characteristics of medium- to low-rise RC structures controlled by both shear and flexure evaluated by FEA and pseudo-dynamic testing

초록

The purpose of this study is to propose new hysteretic characteristics of medium- to low-rise RC structures controlled by both shear and flexure. Through previous study, the dual lateral force -resisting system composed of shear and flexural failure members has a new failure mechanism that cooperates to enhance the flexural capacity of the flexural failure member even after the failure of the shear member, and the existing theoretical equation significantly underestimates the ultimate strength. In this study, the residual lateral strength mechanism of the dual lateral force -resisting system was analyzed, and, as a result, an equation for estimating the residual flexural strength of each shear -failure member was proposed. The residual flexural strength of each shear -failure member was verified in comparison with the structural testing results obtained in previous study, and the proposed residual flexural strength equation for shear -failure members was tested for reliability using FEA, and its applicable range was also determined. In addition, restoring -force characteristics for evaluating the seismic performance of the dual lateral force -resisting system (nonlinear dynamic analysis), reflecting the proposed residual flexural strength equation, were proposed. Finally, the validity of the restoring -force characteristics of RC buildings equipped with the dual lateral force -resisting system proposed in the present study was verified by performing pseudo -dynamic testing and nonlinear dynamic analysis based on the proposed restoring -force characteristics. Based on this comparative analysis, the applicability of the proposed restoring -force characteristics was verified.
